President Michel Aoun met a delegation from the Babylonian Movement of Iraq headed by its Secretary-General, Mr. Rayan Al-Kildani this afternoon at the Presidential Palace.
Iraqi Minister of Migration and Displacement Duraid Jamil Eshou, Director General of the Ministry of Immigration Ali Abbas Jahakir, Coordinator Nour Muhammad Abdul-Jabbar, journalist Ghadi Francis, and a number of officials in the movement also attended the meeting.
The President discussed the situation of Iraqis in general, and Christians in particular, especially that the "Iraq Babylon" movement which won the five Christian seats in the Iraqi parliament. The importance of preserving the Christians of the East after the wave of displacement they were subjected to during the attacks of ISIS and other terrorist organizations on Iraqi lands were also tackled.
For his part, Mr. Al-Kildani focused on the importance of unifying the position of Christians in the East, noting the role played by President Aoun in this field, and the initiatives he launched before and after assuming the presidency.
The delegation members presented the responsibilities assumed by the "Iraq Babylon" movement at the political, social and humanitarian levels, including helping the Iraqis in Lebanon and improving their social and humanitarian conditions.
Finally, President Aoun stressed that nothing can cancel the role of the Christians of the East, no matter what harsh conditions they face, and that their survival in their lands is the basis for strengthening this role.
The President renewed his call for the establishment of an Arab economic market including Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Palestine, wishing the move undertaken by the Iraqi Babylon Movement's success in achieving its goals.
